History Center continues Bibb dig

The Oldham County History Center will host an archaeology investigation under the direction of archaeologist Jeannine Kreinbrink.

The dig will take place from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 22. Children age 13 and up are welcome with the company of an adult. Participation is free but limited and reservations are required.
